About this event
Join the City of Kennesaw, in partnership with Chabad of Kennesaw, for the Menorah Lighting at the Main Street Plaza on Wednesday, December 9, at 6:00 PM. Hanukkah, the eight-day Jewish holiday, commemorates the Maccabees’ military victory over Syrian-Greek oppression more than 2,000 years ago and celebrates the miracle of light that burned for eight days from a single day’s worth of oil in the Temple. One candle is lit the first night, with an additional candle lit each successive night. This celebration honors religious freedom, hope, and the enduring spirit of the Jewish community. Wednesday, December 9 will be the sixth night of Hanukkah. The Menorah will be placed in the Tunnel Plaza and will remain there throughout Hanukkah’s entirety. There will be a short reception before with refreshments available. This event is free and open to the public.
